Chris Brunt has admitted his goal in West Brom's 2-1 Boxing Day victory over Queens Park Rangers was long overdue.
A Rob Green own-goal doubled West Brom's lead against QPR and while Djibril Cisse pulled one back, the visitors hung on for a second victory in a row. It moved them up to sixth in the Premier League, level on points with fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and fifth-placed Everton. Brunt added: "We went off track a little bit with three successive defeats, but now we are unbeaten in three and we have won our last two. "It is very important in this league to pick up back-to-back wins." Brunt revealed hard work was the key to resisting QPR's fightback. He said: "Any Premier League side is going to cause you problems when they are trailing at home and they threw everything at us in the last 20 minutes. "But we battled away, as we have done all season, and managed to hold on for the win. "We showed that we are a good bunch of lads that work hard for each other week in, week out."
